Page 6 expresses that the statement does not assess these risk. However, the Supplier Code of Conduct does express the issues coming from these things.
My previous comment is incorrect! On page 2 of the statement, Morgan Stanley details how it ensures all employees are aware of the risks and that they monitor them closely during their work. It also states that a hotline is available to assess the risks, which is interpreted as a risk management tool.
The company also has a prominent due diligence program: "Morgan Stanley’s vendor due diligence program, using a risk-based approach, assesses risks associated with third party suppliers. In 2021, reviews were conducted for over 2,850 suppliers. Reviews ranged from a search and analysis of online public records, including significant litigation and regulatory actions for high-risk suppliers to a negative media search for suppliers determined in prior assessments to be low risk. The reviews identify, among other things, potential for risks associated with human rights and other social and/or environmental issues."
